After announcing plans for $500 million worth of Phoenix-area projects, Related Group has submitted plans for its first proposed development near Scottsdale and Thunderbird roads.

Miami-based Related Group submitted plans to the city of Phoenix proposing a 293-unit apartment complex, called Manor Scottsdale, at the site of an LA Fitness, which is soon to be vacant, according to city documents.

The two-story complex’s lowest portion will be on the western side, which backs up to single-family homes. The buildings gradually increase in height as the project moves westward, reaching five stories on the side that will front Scottsdale Road. The development is proposed to include a five-story parking garage that will be “wrapped” by the residential units to hide it from view.
